Hip pain is a very common problem that is usually a result of overusing the joint and the muscles surrounding the joint. When assessing the hip joint we look at muscle strength and how this may affect the way the hip moves and how this may contribute to the hip pain. Hip pain can also refer symptoms to others parts of the body such as the outside of the knee. Assessment aims to highlight where the pain is coming from and the best way to address it!
